A $1 cm$ long string vibrates with fundamental frequency of $256\, Hz$. If the length is reduced to $\frac{1}{4}cm$ keeping the tension unaltered, the new fundamental frequency will be

A

$64$

B

$256$

C

$512$

D

$1024$

Solution

(d) $n \propto \frac{1}{l}$==> $\frac{{{n_2}}}{{{n_1}}} = \frac{{{l_1}}}{{{l_2}}}$

==> ${n_2} = \frac{{{l_1}}}{{{l_2}}}{n_1} = \frac{{1 \times 256}}{{1/4}} = 1024Hz$
